| This topic is available here on forum.oes.org | We've just adopted Annie on 2/26 form an animal shelter. She's an 8yr. old OES. The shelter had very little infromation on her. They said the previous owner said she was up to date on shots but had no record. I'm getting everything done legal just to keep her safe. She is a VERY sweet dog! I love her personality and can't believe anyone would get rid of her.
I've been on the net searching for all the info on her breed but I can't find any info about what dry dog food is good to feed them. I bought Maximum Nutrition- Lamb and Rice but she doesn't seem to eat much. I had asked the pound what they feed her and they said they feed their animals what ever is donated.
When she went to the bathroom the first 2 days she was solid but now the poor thing has diarrhea. She's going to see the vet on 2/26 but I was just see if people with OES experience can give me better info.
Thank you,
Jennifer and Annie | |
| Hi Jennifer
You poor thing! Having the squirts is a really common thing for an OES. Change of diet, big dog, big consequences! Believe me ther eis no such thing as a constipated OES.
Talk to your vet and ask him/her to give you a bottle of whatever is available to stop diarrhea. Keep it in your fridge an d one dose is usually enough to stop the problem. Find a good, bland dog food that she willeat and stick with it. Again, talk to your vet, go to the library and read all you can and stick with this forum. Do a web search on Old English Sheepdog and read all the sites. Once you get over this first patch, you'll be fine! You will enjoy annie - OEss are such a joy! |
